Comment 6 for bug 395991

You forgot the category of users who *only* want a dock, which I'm sorry to say most likely dwarfs the first two.

As with any major project change, there will be people happy and unhappy. This is why projects get forked sometimes. We definitely welcome input both before and after such changes.

One thing I can definitely promise you is it won't be a 'checkbox option'. The one thing we strive for with Do (and definitely with Docky) is what we call 'sane default options' and minimal choices. This a) ensures people get roughly the same experience b) makes coding much, MUCH easier, which facilitates new feature addition as well and c) makes debugging (and error reporting) sooooo much easier.
